Hi Stik,

Sorry I can't help with the pilot notes in soft format. In fact the only notes I have seen have been the ones produced by the Australian Air Force.

However, since I fly Tiger Moths as my day job, I can give you the numbers:

Caution: Don't necessarily believe the instruments !

Warm up: min 4 minutes at 800-1000rpm
mag check: 1600rpm, max drop 100 rpm
trim: taxi = full back
t/o = slightly forward of middle
cruise= as required
land = usually around middle
Climb: 60 KIAS, max rpm 2100 rpm (30min) Vx 55 KIAS
Cruise: 1950 - 2050 rpm
Stall: 39 KIAS
VNE: 139 KIAS
Approach: 60KIAS, over hedge at 50 KIAS min
X-wind: 8 knots grass unless current, 2 knots tarmac unless fitted with brakes.
X-winds best handled by wheel landings
Shut-down: 1 minute at 800 rpm

Finally, if you are ferrying an unfamiliar a/c, don't bother with the slats. They only reduce the stall by a couple of knots and I keep them locked in unless I know the aircraft.

Hope this helps, and don't forget the left rudder during the take-off roll!
